About

Overview

The project has been conceived and funded as part of the European Union Socrates Lingua programme that concerns motivating the learning of all European languages, and the less widely used languages in particular. With a vision to promote plurilingualism and appreciation of the diversity of languages in the European Union and beyond.

Mission

The Mission of the project was to create a blended learning system, online and offline, with materials for learning and teaching in five languages (Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian and Lithuanian) and a procedural methodology, which can be transferred to the learning and teaching of other languages, as well.

Aims

The project was for adult learners who have had an initial introduction in one of the languages (Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Lithuanian) and who want to progress from a survival level to a greater competency (A2 Common European Framework). Diaspora, businessmen, expats, tourists, as well as people who are interested in languages, are all part of the targeted sector.

The courses concentrate on helping students become autonomous learners by providing practice and experience in autonomy, during the course.

Weekly offline classes are included with the course tutor. These will introduce new topical issues connected to linguistic structures, clarify online issues brought up in the previous week and reflect on the process of learning.

The final courses will be available through languages schools and colleges across Europe. You can consult the available on this website later.

Additional Information

The ALL project has worked closely in the development of its outputs with a second Lingua project TOOL2. The goal of this collaboration was to harmonize the final products of the ALL and TOOL projects. This harmonization will allow language schools and colleges to teach a coherent package of nine European languages that can be learnt and taught with all the advantages of a blended learning methodology to the international and European public.

Blended Learning is a relatively new learning methodology. It is a learning/teaching system that takes the best aspects of traditional classroom teaching and the advantages of eLearning (also called online or distance learning) to create courses that are accessible and motivating for today's adult students.

The methodology of the project is fully described here.
